Hello everyone, I'm a newbie in jQuery and have difficulties with setting up the containtment option in draggable. I have seen this other post (http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/ browse_thread/thread/8a1672d47767f4a2) but it did not help at all. Perhaps, my implementation has some essential difference. I have a jQuery UI dialog widget implemented with draggable enabled. Now, what I need to do is to restrict the dragging effect of the dialog so that it is only possible to drag it around within the browser internal frame borders.
Now, as I understand, this should work like this: dBox.dialog({ modal: true, draggable:true, stack:true, zIndex:1000 }).draggable({ containment: 'window' }); yet it doesn't... I made it work by modifying the jQuery UI core, and adding containment:'window' as a default option value in _makeDraggable method of a dialog widget: _makeDraggable: function() { var self = this, options = this.options; this.uiDialog.draggable({ cancel: '.ui-dialog-content', helper: options.dragHelper, containment: 'window', // my implementation handle: '.ui-dialog-titlebar', start: function() { self._moveToTop(); (options.dragStart && options.dragStart.apply(self.element[0], arguments)); }, drag: function() { (options.drag && options.drag.apply(self.element[0], arguments)); }, stop: function() { (options.dragStop && options.dragStop.apply(self.element[0], arguments)); $.ui.dialog.overlay.resize(); } }); },... however this doesn't really resolve the problem, because it'll be a headache if I want to reuse this bundle and have alternative settings. so, what I need is an advice how to access and reset this containtment option value from a dialog object instance (perhaps there is an alternative syntaxis I can use, but as I said, I've tried many things including the proposal from another google.groups post, it didn't work)
